Just got back from Empire, Michigan. We spent 5 days in the Empire Hills subdivision. Stayed in a very nice home overlooking Lake Michigan. Did the Dunes Hike in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. Made a trek over to Traverse City one day. Also visited Glen Arbor(ate at Boonedocks) and Glen Haven. Very much enjoyed the week. Even had the time to rent a boat from the “On the Narrow” marina. Spent Thursday morning taking my father, my son and my niece on Glen Lake and then Little Glen Lake. Caught a couple of perch on Big Glen but it was very slow. We ran up into Little Glen and found a spot where the perch were much more willing. We caught about 40 perch in an about a 2 hr. trip. My 6 year old niece got to catch her first fish ever. My son managed about 5 perch. Nothing huge but we had a great time. The perch were hitting the best on shrimp. But worms were working also. Towards the end I tied on a yellow roostertail with a gold blade. A steady retrieve didn’t work. I had to twitch the heck out of it to get them to hit. Like I said nothing huge but it was great to get out on the water for a while.
Beatiful country up there! Was a long drive for us, 550 miles. But it was worth the effort!
